Lyric Freak

Yeah, that's me. Songs mean something to me. I don't just hear them, I LISTEN. Heard this one yesterday by Rascal Flatts (I know...its country music... momentary insanity! ;) ) It got to me though. Its how I feel about my past, and my life. Very insightful.


I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself.

I've been burdened with blame,
Trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on...

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different, but they're always the same
They mean me no harm, but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on...

I'm movin' on
At last I can see,
Life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know..
there's no guarantees, but I'm not.. alone

There comes a time.. in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I.. have made up my mind that those days.. are gone

I sold what I could
And packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should
But lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out

Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on..
I'm movin' on...
I'm movin' on....

It's insane to me when I look back over the past 17 years how drastically different I am. I don't think I am even the same person. At times I feel like I have been transformed. I guess that is what life is supposed to be. A series of ups, downs, and mistakes until you get it right. I know I am sailing smooth right now. Fully aware that at any moment there could be a storm that I may have to face. But oddly enough I feel as though I am equiped to weather any storm now. Take me back to 2005, there is no way I could. I'm in LOVE with my life. I have the most amazing husband who just adores the shit out of me. My children are grown and giving us beautiful grandchildren. Dan and I both are at the top of our careers, with financial freedom and retirement on the horizon. What a wonderful place! I had a moment of complete graditude today when I thought about how we used to be during the holidays. My heart is so full. May 2022 bring more laughter, good memories, and new exp

Life Keeps Going On - LIVE it

Update on my life. The kids are doing great. Man, we are so blessed to have such amazing adults. Jesse has moved to Missouri with Hannah to pursue a new career. Wade is busy being a father to my amazing grandchild. Gabby is back to school to be a nurse practitioner. Kaelan is still going to Spokane Community for a Criminal Justice degree. Emily is still at Whitworth College looking at getting into the psychological aspect of Criminal Justice. And Noah is finding his way still, but making it work in Spokane. All out of the house and living on their own without our help. Sometimes that is the greatest accomplishment in this day and age. I'm doing well with the Mortgage gig. I've never worked harder in my life, but I love it and the money is stupid. Dan and I are finding a new love of RVing. Every weekend we are either planning or going. I love spending time with him. After your children grow up you realize how extremely short life is. So we are just trying to liv

Next Chapter!

Well I did it! I passed my mortgage exam and am now waiting for an offer letter so I can resign from media finally. The feeling I have is a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I no longer have to work for an industry that is treading water. That is exactly how I have been feeling the past year. Not like I am in a boat, rowing toward greatness. Literally in the water, exhausted from swimming, about to drown. Everyone that has half a brain has already or is getting out of the water. It's time. I am ready. Bring on the next chapter in the "Book of Michele"! New beginnings are scary, but Dan needs me back. My mental state has been horrible, and he needs ME back. Great things ahead!
